No word should be ok for some yet not for others. I'm fine with it being banished for eternity.

Nope. As he shouldn't be. It's sad that we've become so PC that people are willing to call for ruining a guy/girl's life over something like that.
I'm sure you were singing quite a different tune in regards to the OU boys.

Never change white people.

White people aren't upset at what he called Kaminsky, they're upset that they can't say the word while completely missing that the word isn't the point but the intent is.

Equating this to "you can hang 'em from a tree but they'll never hang with me" is one of the dumbest things I have ever read on this board, and I have made a lot of dumb topics.

If you can take an NBA team away from the guy who owns it for words he spoke, Harrison should be suspended and not allowed to return to the University of Kentucky. Do you think that if the question had been asked about a African American Wisconsin player that Harrison would have said what he said, hell no. There is a difference in a African American using this term as in hey **** what you doing and the way Harrison used it.

So you think that Harrison was being racist when he called a Kaminsky a ****?

The huge difference here is he said that about a white player. You are a dumbass.


That's an interesting outlook. Are kike and wetback also acceptable terms to use as long as they aren't said to someone of Jewish or Hispanic descent?

I wonder what would happen if Kaminsky called a fellow white player the n-word during a press conference?

How do honestly know what other people think or feel? You are just typing what you think white people think even though I only think for myself not a whole race. I think what he said was very disrespectful towards a player that has only shown class and a great work ethic. It really has nothing to do with color but everything to do with character. Several UK players have class, Andrew Harrison doesn't.

You nailed it bro, all these chalkies' ultimate goal is to drop N bombs on the reg. You should be a detective, just make sure someone else sends your emails for you.

Look, all it takes is a little bit of common sense to understand the difference in these situations.

The context of these occurrences are totally different. One hints racism and the other doesn't.


One hints at guys sitting together on a bus singing a song joking. Seeing as how there were black members of that fraternity, then "there will never be a "..." at sae can't possibly be correct can it?

The other is a guy on a stage, joking? Venting? What? Different situations, but not seeing a room for argument.

The perfect response to Harrison in this situation: takes one to know one
